DESIGN SUBSCRIPTIONS

A designer in your corner.
Whenever you need it.

Most businesses launch a website and then let it drift. Pages go stale. Slow things get slower. Opportunities get missed. A design subscription puts steady, professional attention on your site without quoting every small job.

"Since the launch, Growing Minds has seen a surge in website traffic and inquiries. Families who once hesitated now find the site inviting and easy to use."

THE PROBLEM WITH PROJECT WORK

Your site shouldn't go months without attention.

Project-based work has its place, but it's not built for the ongoing reality of running a business. Every small update becomes a conversation. Every fix needs a quote. And so the site sits, doing less than it should.

Every change is a production.

You need to swap a photo, update your services, add a new team member. But first there's an email thread, a quote, an invoice. So you just leave it.

Momentum dies between projects.

You launched the site, it looked great, and then life happened. Six months later it's already behind, and starting fresh feels bigger than it should.

Your designer moves on.

Project designers finish the project and disappear. The next person doesn't know your site, your brand, or what you were trying to do. You start over every time.

DESIGN SUBSCRIPTIONS

Three tiers. One ongoing relationship.

Pricing is based on the scope of work you need each month. We'll talk through which tier fits before you commit. No pressure.

HOW IT WORKS

A clear process from the beginning. No mysteries to solve.

A dedicated workspace, a clear queue, and a turnaround you can count on. That's the whole system.

We talk first.

A short call to look at your site, understand your goals, and figure out which tier fits. No commitment until it feels right.

You submit a task.

Drop your first request into our dedicated workspace. One active task at a time keeps things focused and fast. We'll confirm scope before starting.

We build, you review. Repeat.

You get a preview before anything goes live. Approve it, request a revision, or queue the next task. The rhythm builds from there.

Monthly check-in.

At the end of each month we send a summary of what was completed, what we noticed, and what we'd suggest tackling next. You stay informed without having to ask.

HOW WE KEEP IT FAIR

A few ground rules that keep things fair for everyone.

One active request at a time.

One request at a time gets our full attention, gets done well, and then we move to the next. Quality stays high. Turnaround stays fast.

Hours don't roll over.

Unused time doesn't accumulate month to month. The subscription works best as a steady rhythm, not a stockpile. This keeps things healthy and predictable for both sides.

Pause or cancel anytime.

No annual contracts, no cancellation fees. If you need to step back, just let us know before your next billing cycle.

REAL WORDS FROM REAL PEOPLE

"I regularly hear from people how much they love the look and accessibility of the site. It dramatically increased our visibility and made it super easy to update."

FAQ

Things people usually ask.

If your question isn't here, bring it to the discovery call. No such thing as a dumb question before you invest in your business.


Do I need to already have a website?

Yes. Subscriptions are for maintaining and improving an existing site, not building from scratch. If you need a new site first, we can talk about that separately and move into a subscription after launch.


How do I submit requests?

Through a dedicated workspace we set up together. You describe what you need, drop in any reference links or assets, and we take it from there. No email chains, no confusion about what's in progress.


Can I upgrade or downgrade my tier?

Yes. Give us a heads-up before your next billing cycle and we'll adjust. Most clients start on Maintain or Grow and move up as their needs evolve.


What platforms do you work with?

We work primarily with Squarespace and Pagy, which covers the majority of our clients. We have some clients on Framer and Webflow as well. If you're on a different platform, reach out and we'll let you know what's possible.


What if I need more than my tier covers?

We'll flag it before we start. If a request is larger than your current tier, we'll give you the option to upgrade for that month or scope it differently. No surprise overages.


Is this the same as hiring a freelancer on a retainer?

Similar concept, but more structured. You get predictable scope, a clear process, and the consistency of working with the same studio over time. Not just a few hours reserved with no clear deliverable.

Not sure which tier is right?
That's what the call is for.

We'll look at your site, talk through what you actually need each month, and be straight with you about whether a subscription makes sense. No pitch. No pressure.
